Closed So Close Yet So Far

[Lucy Holland]

Lucy knew she didn't really have much to complain about, but she couldn't help being disappointed that this year just hadn't been what she hoped it would. Her life was loveless, and Ravenclaw's trophy cabinet was empty of Quidditch accolades. It was frustrating, and she was already looking ahead to next year - surely things had to get better then. At least for the moment she wasn't alone, her friends were the best people in the world as far as Lucy was concerned, and she got to hang out with them. She had just said goodbye to Hazel after walking her to the Slytherin common room and was heading back up, humming to herself as she tried not to think of the essay waiting for her in her dorm.

 

[Logan Ashworth]

Logan had perked up when he heard Hazel say Lucy had walked her back to the Slytherin common room. He had abandoned his sister immediately to hurry after her. Lucy was so cool and fun and he didn't understand why she was Hazel's friend. He practically ran up to her, then slowed down so he could pretend he wasn't running to catch up. "Hey." He said a little breathlessly. "Are you heading to Quidditch practice?" One of the coolest things about Lucy was that she wasn't just a Quidditch player, she was captain.
